Other than cost for an alignment, did I forget anything ?

Thank you for the congrats!

You might want to count on 2 liters of brake fluid to do the clutch fluid at the same time and make sure you have plenty. You could do it with 1 liter, but I have found that 2 liters gives it a real good flush without concern of running out. The last thing you want is to come up short in the end.

As long as your steering wheel is tracking straight you might give your local Firestone a call as their alignments are quite a bit cheaper. My local Firestone has some very nice alignment equipment. They can't reset the steering wheel as evidently you need to hook it up to some special device to do this.

For your front brakes it would be worth measuring the rotor width as you may just need them turned. I don't believe you have cross drilled rotors?
